NFL free agency officially begins March 14, though teams are already feverishly agreeing to deals in order to improve rosters and, in some cases, free up cap space. Here's an early look at how AFC teams might approach the market. (Each club's projected cap space is noted in parentheses, courtesy of overthecap.com as of March 12.)

Advice: Friday's agreement to trade QB Tyrod Taylor to Cleveland and Monday's deal of LT Cordy Glenn to Cincinnati not only freed up more cap room for Buffalo, it gave GM Brandon Beane additional draft ammo to potentially make a major move up the board to target the passer he really wants in April. The Bills could also make a run at a mid-tier type like Teddy Bridgewater or AJ McCarron in free agency. Elsewhere, coach Sean McDermott loves Williams' leadership, but he'll be 35 this year. It would make sense to re-sign Brown or Gaines while chasing a No. 2 receiver like Terrelle Pryor.

Advice: Given QB Ryan Tannehill's injury history, Miami needs to consider a quality alternative, and bringing Moore back might be the answer. But the cap doesn't offer a lot of options, even after unloading WR Jarvis Landry and his $16 million franchise tag Friday ... which is why it now seems like DT Ndamukong Suh and his hefty salary may be unloaded.

Advice: Tough choices for the AFC champs, who also have to start pondering QB Tom Brady's next deal. With WR Julian Edelman (ACL) on the mend, keeping Amendola seems wise unless another team swoops in with a huge offer. Brady would surely like to see Solder back, too, though the Pats tend not to overpay linemen (or running backs) and took on Cleveland DL Danny Shelton at a discount.

Advice: Quarterback remains the priority, and a run at Kirk Cousins appears inevitable given New York's cap resources — now the league's most plentiful after Cleveland's series of moves Friday. But if a Cousins courtship fails, the Jets are better served to re-sign McCown and target their next franchise passer with the sixth pick of the draft. Whoever is under center will need help at the skill positions, and GM Mike Maccagnan needs to acquire corner help (Malcolm Butler?) while also rebuilding the defensive line.

Advice: Jensen, 26, developed into a player worth keeping, though re-signing OL James Hurst on Monday will make it harder to keep both. Baltimore will have to do major restructuring in order to pursue a top-line receiver like Sammy Watkins.

Advice: It would be nice to have Eifert back, though his injury history will deter any team from giving him a huge guarantee. But Cincinnati really needs help on the O-line, even beyond acquiring Glenn, though doing so would cut against the franchise's general avoidance of outside free agents.

Cleveland Browns ($83M)

FAs: RB Isaiah Crowell

Advice: Few teams have as much cap space — even after GM Dorsey stuck three separate deals Friday and another Saturday — though few still need more help than one coming off an 0-16 campaign. Dorsey could still set up the next two generations of Kirk Cousins' family, though Cleveland doesn't check the quarterback's block for joining a contender and may have officially bowed out after agreeing to take Tyrod Taylor off Buffalo's hands. Expect Taylor to be the bridge to the franchise passer Dorsey is expected to draft in April. Crowell should be easy enough to replace in a back-heavy draft, but Cleveland might ponder paying Solder if LT Joe Thomas actually retires. CBs like Trumaine Johnson or Malcolm Butler would also fill a significant hole.

Pittsburgh Steelers ($3M over the cap)

FAs: OL Chris Hubbard, LB Arthur Moats

Advice: With RB Le'Veon Bell carrying the franchise tag again, this time for $14.5 million, Pittsburgh has plenty of work to do to free some funds beyond restructuring WR Antonio Brown's contract. A long-awaited multi-year deal for Bell remains an objective both sides seem to want.

Advice: Their first- and second-round picks belong to Cleveland, so new GM Brian Gaine will be compelled to devote his ample cap space to rebuilding the offensive line and secondary. Solder, who played for Bill O'Brien during his rookie year in New England, also makes sense here. Houston could target Panthers all-pro G Andrew Norwell in a bid to buy protection for franchise QB Deshaun Watson.

Advice: Name a position, and the cap-flush Colts probably need help — especially on defense, where a game wrecker like DL Sheldon Richardson or corner like Malcolm Butler are made to order. It's also imperative they shore up the blocking in front of recuperating QB Andrew Luck, so count Indy among teams that should try to woo Norwell, Ryan Jensen and maybe Justin Pugh.

Advice: QB Blake Bortles needs receiving help. It would have been nice to bring Robinson back, but his knee rehab apparently prohibited the Jags from franchising him, and now it appears he's on his way to Chicago. Big targets like WR Terrelle Pryor or TE Jimmy Graham might be helpful and more affordable. Even if the Jags draft a developmental quarterback (Lamar Jackson?), they should keep a familiar vet like Henne.

Advice: Jones, Kline and Williamson are reliable players who'd be nice to keep in order to maintain continuity without breaking the bank. A deep threat like Seattle WR Paul Richardson could really open up the offense, which also now needs a backup quarterback and running back after the team opted to purge Matt Cassel and DeMarco Murray, respectively. Keep an eye on GM Jon Robinson, who's now positioned to do something significant.

Advice: GM John Elway has been adding cap space — goodbye, Aqib Talib — but apparently has settled on QB Case Keenum, rather than Cousins, to be the starter in 2018. Crick and Davis, both starters, can be replaced internally.

Advice: They've already been active, with QB Alex Smith and CB Marcus Peters set to be traded, and OLB Tamba Hali released. Most holes can probably be addressed during the draft, though one more veteran corner, say Prince Amukamara or Morris Claiborne, would really help.

Advice: Boston played well in 2017 but seems to be seeking a major payday, and GM Tom Telesco chose to first reward CB Casey Hayward on Sunday night. Telesco might be wise to next bolster one of the league's worst run defenses. And what about locking up a fairly reliable kicking option like Sebastian Janikowski or even Cody Parkey?

Advice: It probably makes a lot of sense to re-sign Bowman, who made an impact after coming across the Bay midway through last season. Otherwise, start pushing money into the 2019 cap — and/or start talking extension with DE Khalil Mack — while Jon Gruden evaluates this roster.
